- Launch
-
On September 13, 2019, The Covenant Car Company, Inc. (TCCCI), introduced the Philippines to its subcompact sedan, the MG 5. With a well-endowed spec-list and looks that could stack up to the rest of the industry, MG Motor's entry into the segment offers high-end features that best even the more established players in the industry.

The MG 5 features a unibody chassis with a Macpherson strut on the front and a torsion beam in the rear. The vehicle rolls on either a set of 16-inch alloys that can come in two styles, monotone or two-tone. In these wheels sit the brakes, and the 5 features 4-disc brakes all around, with a vented pair up front and a solid pair outback. Ground clearance for the MG 5 is rated at 118 mm with a wheelbase of 2,680 mm. The added size allows the subcompact to have a truck capacity of 512 liters on top of the space it has inside the cabin.
For power, the MG 5 relies on a 1.5 L naturally aspirated motor that has Dual Variable Valve Timing (DVVT) which produces 112 hp and 150 Nm of torque. This motor is paired to either a 5-speed manual transmission on the Core variant or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The driven wheels are at the front, making this subcompact a front-engined-front-wheel-drive vehicle.

The MG 5 handles well, with its electronic power steering making maneuvering through tight corners effortless.
